Mark Harmon, a bounty hunter turned marshal, had seen men die in all
kinds of ways. He’d seen men shot, knifed, and clubbed to death. He’d
shot a few himself when they had needed it. He’d even seen men hanged, but
only by the law… and once by a mob.
What he had never seen was a series of men dangling from a noose, and
always on the first day of the month. Furthermore, the hangings were being
perpetrated by parties unknown for reasons unknown. When Mark finds himself
charged with solving the mystery, he embarks on the pursuit of a dangerous
and wily killer.
Along the way, he meets Beth Bjornson, a beautiful widow. He soon
finds himself in danger… of both losing her love and his life to the unknown
hangman

abusive father on a ranch outside of Paradise, Oklahoma until he was
fifteen, when he ran away from home. He made his way first to Dodge City,

officer.
A desperate letter from his father, now an invalid, caused him to return
home, and none too soon. A crooked rancher was scheming to take away his
father’s land. A stepmother and a beautiful half-sister whom he had never
met complicated matters.

encounter forced him to vow an end to his violent ways. Eventually
he found himself the proud owner of a horse and hay ranch. Along the
way, he adopted an orphan and courted two beautiful women. It was

man’s gun.

children were giving way to new concerns. Her youngest daughter, Sarah,
was eighteen and would soon be leaving to begin a family of her own.
What would Willie May do now?
|
After
years of striving, Willie May Bledsoe’s life seems blessed by God. She
has a successful business, a loving husband, and all her married
children nearby. Her father and mother live in the big house on the
hill overlooking the Mississippi River in the thriving frontier town of
Memphis, Tennessee. Life is good until the day Thomas Young and family
get off the steamboat and came to the Willie May Boarding House and
Diner. It was May 10, 1837, the day the Great Panic began and all the
banks stopped paying in gold or silver. The ensuing five year depression
nearly ruined Willie May. Her idyllic existence returned to the
struggle and strife of earlier years, estranging her from those she
loved most. What was she to do?
